It has been our little tradition to bake his birthday cake together and it sure warms my heart. He likes to help cook but when it's his cake he knows there's going to be extra bowl looking.....or counter licking. Spending one on one time with him is always a treat.
He had a pre birthday dinner celebration at his favorite spot, Miyako. Both sets of grandparents being there made the evening extra special and he was beyond delighted to hear them sing happy birthday.
and Just like that we awoke to our baby boy awoke to a bright a shining four year old. Better than ever and more loved than he will ever know.
We had the most darling day celebrating him. From opening gifts, to enjoying snuggles, to celebrating with cousins, grandparents and friends. It was a perfectly wonderful birthday for my big boy.
Cracker Jacks as a pre breakfast appetizer.
Enjoying his bacon and french toast.
We love surprising him with his big boy bike!
Although we realized pretty quickly it's going to take some getting use to. :) He zips around at lightning speed on his balance bike but has a bit more growing to do before he will feel fully comfortable on this one.
Henry's aunt Katie and cousins came up for the day to help celebrate with us. We headed out to Malibu Jacks at Henry's request to play putt putt, little did he know he would be able to enjoy all the perks being 4 brings you......Oh yeah, go cart rides here we come!
This sweet sweet boy sure enjoyed having the attention on him for his most special day. There were many times leading up to this moment that he expressed how excited he was to be turning 4.
That's right darling boy, make a wish. Mommy prays they all come true, but when they don't I hope you won't let it get you down for long; there's far to much world out there to tackle for that.
Yay!
Joining the big kid club is legit awesome guys!
Henry informed us pretty quickly that "there's no room for adults at the table".
Little sweet pea had her own sorta celebration as she enjoyed her first bite of cake. We found a recipe for egg, soy, dairy free cake that tasted mighty delicious!
We had a great day celebrating and ended up dragging it out another three weeks with a birthday party that had to be rescheduled due to weather. It was definitely worth the wait as Henry enjoyed going out early with his daddy to watch BP and get a behind the scenes look at the ball field. From getting to chat with the coach to fist bumps with the players he was on cloud nine. He was also given a ball signed by Scratch and the Wildcat, and later Scratch came to join the party by our tent. It was a great day spent with some of his buddies running, cheering, popcorn and cake eating.
Happy Happy Birthday Henry Thomas! You are such a treasure in our lives!
